Domaine Barmes Buecher, Grand Cru Steingrubler Gewurztraminer 2021
Something incredible and unexpected happen during our first visit with Domaine Barmes Buecher, a new found love for Gewurztraminer. Should we say the Steingrubler from this Domaine is a show stopper, we never experienced such vibrancy and vivacity with this grape ever before. The Vines are on the highest part of the vineyard, close to the forest, with a high proportion of granite sand in the soil composition. Forget soupy heavily rose sented Gewurztraminer your granny loved. We encourage you to discover this sensational wine and we guarantee that you will finish the bottle!

Alsace is a hive of young talents, having witnessed first-hand Sophie and Maxime Barmès blossom in their roles at the family’s Domaine has been an absolute privilege. Under the guidance of their mum Genevieve, they form an incredible and determined trio. Maxime is leading the work both in the vineyards and the cellars. Sophie is looking after all the commercial side, while Genevieve binds all projects and welcome guests at the winery. The adventure started in 1985 when Genevieve Barmes and Francois Buecher married in Wettolsheim combining their family holdings together. Their goal was to convert to organic viticulture. Their quest towards quality followed in 1998 with a move towards Biodynamic farming. The Domaine was certified in 2001.
